Comment: I react fairly quickly to birth control and normally do not like taking it. I get emotional and depressed on most birth controls. I have tried the Nuva Ring along with two IUDs in the last two and a half years. This birth control is the first that hasn't made me feel like I was losing my mind. I do have the slight breast tenderness and experienced nausea here and there but I will take that

Comment: The only side effects I experienced were increased cup size and a little extra PMS. Other than that my period only lasts one day, my skin has cleared up, and I don't cramp at all! I am in love with this pill

Comment:I was on this pill for 6 months and finally stopped taking it. I had breast tenderness, dark patches appeared on my chin and cheeks, gained 15lbs (I'm a personal trainer!), had constant stomach pain, developed migraines and I never had a headache in my life! My mood changed so much that I started seeing a therapist. Finally I narrowed everything down to this pill and ever since I stopped taking it I've felt so much better and have lost those 15lbs. Please be mindful when taking this medication. The only plus was I didn't have a period, but some things just aren't worth it!Hide Full Comment
